‘Black Stench’…

*

What is the nature of this selfness

which we must turn from?

*

All the exponents of the prevailing view affirm

that humankind is a triad

comprising body, psyche, and spirit.

*

Selfness is a product of the first two elements.

The third element is akin to

the divine source of being.

*

Humanity’s final end, the purpose of existence

is to love, know, and unite with

the divine source of being.

*

This can be achieved by dying to selfness

and living for spirit.
